PaCC’s Understanding Adult Social Care Plans guide is a practical resource for family carers. It explains what a care and support plan is, what it should include and how the person receiving support should be involved.
Having needs assessed, having support agreed and actually receiving that support are three different things.
PaCC’s guide helps parent and family carers understand what should happen at each stage and what to do when things aren’t working.
The guide includes:
- What a care and support plan should contain
- Who should be involved in planning
- An example adult care plan
- A checklist to help you review a plan
- Information about supported living and decision-making
- Steps to take if you disagree with a plan or agreed support is not being provided
A good plan should explain what support is needed, who will provide it and how it will help the person live their life.
